PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Black flapper dress with gold Art Deco beading throughout
- Long black fringe hem (6–8 inches below dress body)
- Back zipper closure for easy on/off
This Womens 1920s Flapper Dress brings the Roaring Twenties straight to your next costume party, with black satin draped in intricate gold and bronze beading in geometric Art Deco swags, chevrons, and scalloped chains. The fringe hem swings with every step — classic Charleston energy.
Sleeveless shift silhouette hits just below the knee, with a scoop neckline front and back showing off the beaded bib detailing. Heavy embellishment gives it weight and structure, so it sits beautifully without clinging. Back zip makes it easy to slip on; opaque black lining underneath keeps you covered.
Perfect For
1920s Themed Parties & Gatsby Events: The standout pick for Great Gatsby soirées, Charleston dance nights, Prohibition-era pub crawls, or jazz-age murder mystery dinners.
Decades Dress-Up & Retro Costume Parties: Nails the 20s silhouette for decade-themed work events, vintage costume balls, or Book Week staff dress-up days if you're channeling a 1920s literary heroine.
Halloween & New Year's Eve: Works as a glamorous costume party outfit or a vintage-glam NYE look — pair with a feather headband and long gloves for full flapper effect.
How to Wear It
Pair with T-strap heels or Mary Janes and a beaded headband or feather fascinator for authentic 1920s flair. Add long black gloves, a faux-pearl strand, and a small beaded clutch. Skip modern jewellery — keep it Art Deco.
FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: Check the size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements. The dress has a shift silhouette (no waist seam), so it's forgiving through the middle. If you're between sizes, size up for a looser drape.
Q: Can I wear this over regular clothes, or is it a standalone outfit?
A: This is a standalone dress — wear it over underwear or shapewear. The beading is heavy enough that you won't need extra layers for coverage.
Q: How do I wash this? Is the beading durable?
A: Hand wash cold or dry clean only. The beading and sequins are stitched on, but rough handling or machine washing will damage them. Hang to dry; store flat or on a padded hanger.
Q: Will the fringe stay in place during dancing?
A: Yes — the fringe is densely attached at the scalloped hemline and designed to swing with movement. That's the whole point of a flapper dress. It won't shed or tangle easily.
Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean; hang to dry, store flat.
